<h4>Chapter 1279: Chapter 1587: Searching for Evidence of Guilt</h4>


    Su Mei’s decision made Ling Chen breathe a sigh of relief; he was really worried that she wouldn’t ept. Otherwise, he’d have to resort to some tactics.


    "Miss Su, since you are willing to cooperate with me, we should hurry up and find that record as soon as possible. Only with that record in hand can I proceed with the next step of my n."


    Su Mei thought for a moment and said, "I have never been in contact with the Skyhawk Pavilion. If that record truly exists, it must be in the hands of my grandfather. He usually doesn’t carry valuable items with him; he has a designated residence in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Additionally, many secret documents are stored at the top of this tower, all from many years ago. Only my grandfather has the key to enter."


    "What about Qin Chuan?" Ling Chen asked, "Where does he live? That record might be in his possession."


    "Elder Qin lives downstairs from me. He hasn’t been in the Heavenly Mechanism Paviliontely. He used to be responsible for my safety, but now I’m under house arrest, and my grandfather has sent him away."


    Ling Chen’s eyes lit up; this was indeed a good opportunity. "Miss Su, wait for me here. I’ll go check Qin Chuan’s room first." With that, Ling Chen went straight to the window and climbed down using the rope. Opening the window, he smoothly entered Qin Chuan’s room without much effort.


    The room was notrge, with only a living room and a separate bedroom, and the furnishings were simple. Ling Chen searched carefully but found nothing, not even a piece of paper, let alone the record concerning the Skyhawk Pavilion. It seemed the record wasn’t in Qin Chuan’s possession.


    Immediately, Ling Chen returned to Su Mei’s room the same way, exined the situation to her, then targeted the tower’s top once more. Since only Su He could enter that ce, it surely hid many secrets.


    "I’ll go with you." Su Mei got dressed and spoke up.


    "You?" Ling Chen was startled, not expecting Su Mei to make such a request. Su Mei nodded, "What is inside may involve some secrets of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. I must follow along to prevent you from knowing things you shouldn’t."


    "Alright, if you want toe, let’s go together."


    Through the window, since Su Mei couldn’t perform martial arts, Ling Chen had to carry her on his back, using his hands to grasp the rope and slowly climb upwards. Before long, they reached the top window of the tower. However, this window was extremely narrow, with both length and width less than thirty centimeters, making it impossible for adults to squeeze through, unless they were a two- or three-year-old child.


    What should we do! Ling Chen was somewhat troubled, asking, "Miss Su, can we go in through the main door?"


    "No." Su Mei shook her head, "The main door is guarded. Moreover, that door is very sturdy and can only be opened with a key." As she spoke, Su Mei nced at the window, "Should we go down first?"


    Ling Chen secured the rope to his body and took out his phone to check the time, "Miss Su, we can’t afford much dy now." Before entering the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, he had agreed with Song Ge that they must leave within four hours. Otherwise, once Song Ge changed shifts, no one would cover for him.


    Thinking it over, Ling Chen took a pre-prepared stic explosive from his backpack and installed it at the window. Seeing his action, Su Mei couldn’t help but exim, "What are you doing?"


    Ling Chen shrugged helplessly, "Since we can’t enter, we’ll have to st open the outer wall."


    "Are you crazy? Doing this will attract the attention of people from both the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Yangxin Pavilion. How do you n to escape then?"


    Ling Chen smiled slightly, full of confidence, "Don’t worry, I have arrangements in ce. Nothing will happen." Saying that, Ling Chen quickly installed the explosive, and the two returned to the room downstairs.


    As Ling Chen pressed the remote control with his finger, a loud ’bang’ echoed from the tower top, with countless shards flying from the top.


    Simultaneously, a series of explosions sounded outside the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, with mes shooting skyward, clearly visible. Standing at the window, Su Mei watched the mes in surprise and asked, "What’s happening over there?"


    "Nothing, just some distraction tactics," Ling Chen said. Before entering the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, he anticipated this situation and pre-arranged with Qiu Yong and others. Once he used the explosive, Qiu Yong must create an even biggermotion to divert the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s attention and buy enough time for him.


    Watching the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion members running toward the perimeter, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile; Qiu Yong and his team’s effects were quite good.


    "Miss Su, there’s no time to lose. We must go." With those words, Ling Chen carried Su Mei on his back and climbed to the tower top using the rope.


    The earlier explosive had already opened arge hole at the top window, and quickly Ling Chen and Su Mei entered the tower top. Looking at the scattered stones around, Ling Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had used a minimal amount of explosives, so nothing inside was damaged.


    The tower top was seventy square meters in area, with a desk ced in the middle piled with many documents. Surrounding the desk, the floor was filled with document boxes, all containing files. Ling Chen casually picked up a document, preparing to nce at it, but Su Mei stopped him.


    "Don’t forget what you promised me."


    Ling Chen smiled awkwardly and had to return the document to its ce. He knew these files were rted to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s secrets, and Su Mei didn’t want him to know too much.


    Time was limited, and Ling Chen didn’t dare dy, immediately searching for the record’s whereabouts.


    At this moment, outside the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, hundreds of its members gathered together, prepared for action. Su He stood among them, watching the mes outside with indifferent eyes.


    "What’s happening?" Footsteps approached, and Su He turned to see Du Kanging over with a wine gourd.


    "Someone wants to attack the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."


    "Who?"


    "Who else do you think it could be?" Su He sneered, "I thought they wouldn’t act so fast. It seems I miscalcted; perhaps the incident in Jin Hai City gave them urgency. Anyway, it’s better to resolve things early."


    At this, a trace of doubt appeared in Su He’s eyes, "I thought I heard the first explosion inside earlier; did you notice it?"


    Du Kang shook his head.


    "Maybe I misheard." With that, Su He turned his attention back to the zing fire, frowning, "It’s been a while; why is there still no movement."


    "Maybe they are testing us."


    Just then, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran over, eximing, "Old Pavilion Master, there’s been an explosion at the tower top; should you go check it out?"


    "What?" Su He’s expression changed. Without another word, he immediately headed toward the tower.
